Yes, it's weird.  but that's what's happening.

I upgraded to Sendmail 8.7.6 yesterday before the daily system log update 
went through.  Now, instead of "Charlie Root" as the addressee, it 
shows up in elm as:

     2   Sep 19 Charlie ????D???@? (69)   daily output                        


looking in the actual inbox, I see this:

From: "Charlie ^P0xce0xbf0xf7D0xce0xbf0xf7@0xce0xbf0xf7]0xce0xbf0xf7m0xd0^C" <ro
ot>

This must be some clash between new Sendmail and the name "Charlie &" in 
the passwd file.  But what is it?
